Abstract
A system and method is provided in the form of an injector assembly,for thoroughly premixing fuel and oxidizer reactants and water upstream of a combustion chamber,. The assembly includes a housing,that has a first stack,for thoroughly mixing reactants from an oxidizer source,and a fuel source,. It also includes a second stack,for mixing and blending the prior mixed reactants with coolant water, before ignition within a combustion chamber,. The mixing and blending is accomplished in mixing cups,where the water and reactant mixture are joined in perpendicular flow streams. Some water is also introduced tangentially in the mixing cups to promote vortical flow and further enhance the mixing process. An alternative injector assembly,is also provided that mixes the reactants in a swirl cup,and enhances mixture ratio uniformity by means of a diffusion plate insert
